The sad thing is that IRC has actual positive uses for sharing information; look at the various help channels (especially on a net like freenode) for everything from Linux to math to all different types of programming languages. That's what a lot of people don't understand when they examine the problem of IRC and botnets, is that YES it has huge issues but it has legitimate (albeit very under-proportionate to the number of non-legitimate) uses and users. -Drew
I didn't mean to put IRC in a bad light, just pointing out that as usual, any good tool can be abused. -- Matthew S. Hallacy FUBAR, LART, BOFH Certified http://www.poptix.net GPG public key 0x01938203
